Basics of Auction and Profile Distribution - terms like Market Profile and Volume Profile simplified

What is Profile Distribution?

Distribution is the process of trading activity that takes place in the market auction. Some also know it by a consolidation or range.
[2/X]

A Distribution tends to define the fairest area/ price where the current auction has been taking place.
However, during some trading sessions, after the market forms a distribution around a certain fair price/ value, something changes.....
[3/X]

It could be anything - some big money stepping in deeming the price to be auctioning below value, news, event ,etc.. we don't know that and it doesn't matter.. what we are interested in is what happens after....
[4/X]

This sudden change causes the market auction to locate a new fair price and distribute around the new found fair price. Since this is a distribution separate from the initial one that had formed during the early part of the day we may call it the second distribution
[5/X]

Day as a whole could be called a double distribution day..

Let's move to what happened today

#MarketProfile #VolumeProfile Image
[6/X]

It seems something changed for a second time during the day and consequently the fair price also changed and a third distribution also formed (although in the later part of the day which is suspect sometimes).. this can also be called as a triple distribution day
[7/X]

The terminology is not important but what is important is to consider this auction that took place moving forward.

Key takeaway: The third distribution on the top that formed during the later part of the day may define what happens tomorrow. Good luck!!!

Let's start with the definition of COT High/Low and how it is used in Daytrading with Orderflow

COT is the abbreviation for Commitment Of Traders. There are two COTs:
COT High
COT Low

🧵 #daytading #gocharting #orderflow
2/n
COT High is cumulative bid/ask Delta starting from the moment when the price makes new high or repeats previous one.

COT Low is cumulative bid/ask Delta starting from the moment when the price makes new low or repeats previous one.
COT helps to see buy/sell balance after new price level has been reached. In other words, it helps us identify TRAPPED buyers and sellers in the market

[1/X] Attempt to explain Imbalance Chart to a 10 year old
You want into an air conditioner (AC) in the peak summers.. the shopkeeper tells you that the price of the AC is 35 k, which you think is expensive.. this price of 35k which the shopkeeper quoted is Ask Price
[2/X] Since you feel the ask/offer price by the shopkeeper is high, you tell him that you can pay 30 k for the AC.. this price quoted by you is the Bid Price

Now one of you (shopkeeper or you) has to accommodate for the sale of the AC. This is an Auction
[3/X] Since it is peak summer and the demand is high, the shopkeeper isn't budging..so you go ahead and buy the ac at his offer/ask price.. this is called Lifting the Offer

[1/X] Introducing Imbalance Charts in GoCharting

Imbalance is a special variation of the Footprint chart that highlights aggressive buying and selling (some market participants manifested aggressive behavior)
[2/X] Imbalance compares bids and asks diagonally and shows a significant excess of one over the other. That is, a bid is compared with an ask, which is one level higher, and an ask is compared with a bid, which is one level lower.
[3/X] The bar in the picture above shows how aggressive sellers entered the market and pushed the price at each price level. Such an aggression, as a rule, results in price reduction.

The yellow highligted cells reflect such aggressive behaviour on the buy and sell sides

We have now released an important Orderflow Indicator called the Bar Statistics

A Bar Statistics provides a tabular view of the important Orderflow metrics at a candle level in a time series format while each of the footprint provides a cohort view of the similiar metrics Image
To activate this particular indicator, please choose Bar Statistics from Inidcators menu on the top bar under Orderflow section

#Orderflow #Footprint #Cluster #NSE Image
The Bar Statistics indicator in GoCharting is fully loaded with 21 Orderflow metrics to choose from (no kidding!!!)

Will try our best to explain each one of them. We may go crazy in the future and add more to this list Image

The next version of the Orderflow Module is now released on Beta

More Indicators

More Options

More Customizations

More Analytics....

Follow this thread along..... on the updates
First Important Change - Now you can manually set the size of the cluster boxes using the Tick Multiplier Parameter under Settings Tab.

What it means?

Now Cluster Boxsize = TickSize X Multiplier

If Nifty Tick = 0.5 INR and Multilplier = 3

Boxsize = 0.5 X 3 = 1.5 INR Image
[3/X] The default view is on AUTO tick multiplier mode. This means that an algorithm will decide the cluster box size using a tick multplier computed on the basis of your screen dimensions to make the underlying figures visible and readable

See the difference between below ImageImage

[1/X] Attempt to explain Orderflow basics. It will be a long thread but will try to make the content worth the read.

Below is a Depth of Market (DOM). The
Blue ones = Bid Limit orders
Red ones = Ask Limit orders

So what happens to these orders in the trade cycle

#Basics Image
[2/X] Such limit orders are invariable absorbed by the Market Orders.

It is the Market Orders that drive the markets up and down.

Lesson # 1: Every auction starts with a Bid and an Ask
Lesson # 2: Market orders move the price
[3/X] So how do we track these market orders. We track them on the Footprint aka Cluster charts

GREEN = Buy Market Orders
RED = SELL Market Orders

Market Orders indicate Aggresiveness Image
